Provisional List of Hemiptera (Heteroptera) in the Ryukyu Title Islands Author(s) Takara, Tetsuo 琉球大学農家政学部学術報告 = Science bulletin of Citation Agriculture & Home Economics Division, University of the Ryukyus(4): 11-90 Issue Date 1957-07 URL http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12000/22033 Rights Provisional List of Hemiptera (Heteroptera) in the R yukyu Islands By Tetsuo TAKARA* Introduction There are quite a few reports concerning Hemiptera which originated in the Ryukyu Islands, but most of these reports not cover all the order. Although 56 to 87 species of Hemiptera are record­ ed in the reports published by Matsumura (1905), Yashiro (1927) and Sakaguchi (1927), only 34 to 59 species can be classified as Heteroptera. Moreover, some of the reports need the correction in respect to geographical distribution and scientific name of the species. Some other investigators reported a few new and unrecorded species, but the subject still calls for close· and further study. The aim of this report, therefore, is to try to clarify previous studies with dependence on the avail~ble records and specimens collected by members of the Division of Agriculture and Home Economics, University of the Ryukyus· and certain ones in the Entomology collection, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University. With the correction of the scientific name, the remarks on distribu­ tion and the food habits of the species, 20 families, 113 genera, and 153 species are reported in this particular study. Twenty-nine genera and 32 species should be registered as new ones from the Ryukyu Islands. This report should be referred to as a provisional list, because the author could not acquire some samples recorded in the previous studies and also did not have the opportunity to see some of original reports. Since a few species which are not recorded in the report are under study, a result of it will be reported later. In publishing this report, greateful acknowledgment is given to Dr. Teiso Esaki, Professor of Kyushu University, for his constructive criticism of the manuscript. Special appreciati.on goes to Messrs. Shoiti Miyamoto and Terunobu Hidaka, as this report has been made possible only through their support and cooperations. 1. The Ryukyu Islands in the report include Okinawa, Miyako and Yaeyama Islands which were previously referred to as Okinawa Prefecture. 2. Food in the report are those existing in the Ryukyu Islands. * Agriculture & Home Economics Division, University of the Ryukyus. 12 T. TAKARA Enumeration of Species I.

    Macaranga Tanarius Parasol Leaf Tree Euphorbiaceae

    Macaranga tanarius Parasol leaf tree Euphorbiaceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i January, 2003 OVERVIEW Macaranga tanarius, native to Malaysia, is a medium size tree that is cultivated for ornament and reforestation in Hawai'i and other tropical regions of the world. In Hawai'i, M. tanarius is naturalized in disturbed mesic valleys on Kaua'i, O'ahu, and Maui (Oppenheimer et al. 1999, Wagner et al. 1999). On Maui, M. tanarius is widely naturalized in the Waikapu area of West Maui where it forms dense thickets in mesic valleys and streams from near sea level up to about 4,400 ft (1,341 m) elevation. On East Maui, only a single cultivated tree is currently known from a residential planting in Ha'iku. On West Maui, the infestation may not be feasible to control due to the vast area that it covers in steep and difficult terrain. On East Maui, there will always be the potential of re-invasion from the west side of the island, but control of the lone tree now may prevent a large infestation from occurring in the future. TAXONOMY Family: Euphorbiaceae (spurge family) (Wagner et al. 1999). Latin name: Macaranga tanarius (L.) Mull. Arg. (Wagner et al. 1999). Synonyms: Ricinus tanarius L. (Wagner et al. 1999), Macaranga molliuscula Kurz, Macaranga tomentosa Druce, Mappa tanarius Blume (World Agroforestry Centre 2002). Common names: Parasol leaf tree (Randall 2002), Macaranga (Neal 1965). Taxonomic notes: The genus, Macaranga, is made up of 250-280 species from tropical Africa, Madagascar, and Malesia to Australia and some parts of the Pacific, though none are native to Hawai'i (Wagner et al.

    Genome Evolution During Development of Symbiosis in Extracellular Mutualists of Stink Bugs (Pentatomidae) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alejandro Otero-Bravo Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Zakee L. Sabree, Advisor Rachelle Adams Norman Johnson Laura Kubatko Copyrighted by Alejandro Otero-Bravo 2020 Abstract Nutritional symbioses between bacteria and insects are prevalent, diverse, and have allowed insects to expand their feeding strategies and niches. It has been well characterized that long-term insect-bacterial mutualisms cause genome reduction resulting in extremely small genomes, some even approaching sizes more similar to organelles than bacteria. While several symbioses have been described, each provides a limited view of a single or few stages of the process of reduction and the minority of these are of extracellular symbionts. This dissertation aims to address the knowledge gap in the genome evolution of extracellular insect symbionts using the stink bug – Pantoea system. Specifically, how do these symbionts genomes evolve and differ from their free- living or intracellular counterparts? In the introduction, we review the literature on extracellular symbionts of stink bugs and explore the characteristics of this system that make it valuable for the study of symbiosis. We find that stink bug symbiont genomes are very valuable for the study of genome evolution due not only to their biphasic lifestyle, but also to the degree of coevolution with their hosts. i In Chapter 1 we investigate one of the traits associated with genome reduction, high mutation rates, for Candidatus ‘Pantoea carbekii’ the symbiont of the economically important pest insect Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug, and evaluate its potential for elucidating host distribution, an analysis which has been successfully used with other intracellular symbionts.

A diagnosis of species is based on external morphology of males and genitalia examination. Dorsal view of adults and parameres are illu- strated. Notes about their biology and host plants are briefly discussed. Keywords Burrower Bugs, Dallasiellus, New Species, Diagnoses, Turfgrass, Caribbean 1. Introduction Members of the Cydnidae family are called burrowing bugs; more than 88 genera and about 680 species are recorded [1]. They have generally been considered of little economic importance, but up to date almost 30 spe- cies have been reported as pests [2]-[4]. Some species causing damages on turfgrass in a Golf Club from Carib- bean have been detected recently [5]. However, the biological information about these insects is not very well-known yet. One of the most important studies of this group was the Revision of the Western Hemisphere fauna of Cydni- dae carried out by Froeschner [6].

Here, we present the first molecular identification of bacteriocyte-associated symbionts in these plant sap-sucking insects. Three geographically distant populations of members of the Adelges nordmannianae/piceae complex, identified based on coI and ef1alpha gene sequences, were investigated. Electron and light microscopy revealed two morphologically different endosymbionts, coccoid or polymorphic, which are located in distinct bacteriocytes. Phylogenetic analyses of their 16S and 23S rRNA gene sequences assigned both symbionts to novel lineages within the Gammaproteobacteria sharing o92% 16S rRNA sequence similarity with each other and showing no close relationship with known symbionts of insects. Their identity and intracellular location were confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization, and the names ‘Candidatus Steffania adelgidicola’ and ‘Candidatus Ecksteinia adelgidicola’ are proposed for tentative classification.
  • Insect Classification Standards 2020

    Insect Classification Standards 2020

    RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.

TRICEROMYCES: WITH A DESCRIPTION OF MONOECIOUS-DIOECIOUS DIMORPHISM IN THE GENUS RICHARD K. BENJAMIN Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACf Six species of Triceromyces (Laboulbeniales), including the type, T. balazucii (on Hebridae), parasitic on semiaquatic Hemiptera, were studied at the light-microscopic level. Descriptions are provided for all of the taxa, and features of developmental morphology are described, compared, and illustrated with photographs and line drawings. Four species are described as new: T. hebri (on Hebridae), T. hydrometrae (on Hydrometridae), and T. bi/ormis and T. bullatus (on MesoveJiidae). The species growing on Hebridae and Hydrometridae are monoecious. The two species on Mesoveliidae develop monoecious and dioecious morphs, which occur together on the same host individual. This phenom­ enon is recognized and described for the first time in the Laboulbeniales. Two species, Autophagomyces poissonii and Dioicomyces mesoveliae, previously described from a species ofMesoveliidae, are shown to represent the monoecious and dioecious forms of a species of Triceromyces and are transferred to this genus as T.
